• Examples of a nonionic surfactant used by the present invention are an alkyl ether, such as polyoxyethylene lauryl ether and polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether; an alkyl ester, such as polyoxyethylene oleate and polyoxyethylene laurate; and an alkyl aryl ether, such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether and polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, but from the viewpoint of emulsification and safety, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is preferred.

• an alkyl aryl ether such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether and polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, but from the viewpoint of emulsification and safety, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is preferred.
• the prepared emulsion composition may deteriorate with time.
• a cationic and an anionic surfactant can also be used together in amounts which do not impair the effect of the emulsion composition of the present invention.
• the polyvinyl alcohol (hereafter, PVA) in the present invention is preferred to have a saponification degree of 86-98 mol %, and the viscosity of a 4% aqueous solution at 20° C. should be preferably 4-100 mPa ⁇ s.
• This PVA is a preferred ingredient as an assistant co-surfactant to promote emulsification with the surfactant, and stabilizes the formed emulsion. That is to say, the combination of PVA with other surfactants further improves the temporal stability of the obtained emulsion-type anchorage additive. If the saponification degree is less than 85 mol % or more than 99 mol %, the emulsion stabilizing effect is inadequate.
• the surfactant is a water-soluble polyvinylalcohol (PVA) for improving the wetting performance and rub-off resistance performance on the cured release coating.

• optional components which are water-soluble or water-dispersible may be previously blended in the water phase unless such component impairs the effect of this invention.
• the inventive emulsion can be prepared by emulsifying said component (A) including optional silicones with surfactants and/or co-surfactants into water.
• adding water and emulsification process is stepwise manner including multiple emulsification and dispersion procedure.
• Most preferred emulsification process includes:
• An emulsifying device is preferably used in order to bring about uniform emulsion particles (droplets) in the water.
• This emulsifying device can be exemplified by homomixers, paddle mixers, Henschel mixers, homodispersers, colloid mills, propeller stirrers, homogenizers, continuous inline emulsifying devices, ultrasonic emulsifying devices, and vacuum kneaders.
• the particle size for the droplet is not limited, but preferably, the particle size for the droplet is less than 1 um. Small particle size of the emulsion facilitates molecular migration of the composition on the treated substrate. The emulsion ratio to base silicone release coating could be easily adjusted.
• the curable release coating composition comprises at least one curable silicone composition and said novel silicone emulsion composition.
• the curable release coating composition is a water-based silicone release coating composition obtained by mixing said novel silicone emulsion composition (i.e. water-based anchorage additive) with another emulsion containing hydrosilylation reaction curable silicone release coating composition.

• the release coating composition of the invention can be applied to any substrate but is particularly effective on substrates where anchorage is a problem, such as polymer film substrates, for example polyester, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene films, including oriented and biaxially oriented films, for example biaxially oriented polypropylene.
• the release coating composition can alternatively be applied to a paper substrate, including plastic coated paper, for example paper coated with polyethylene, where anchorage may be a problem.
• the silicone release coating composition can be applied to a sheet-form substrate (known as a ‘liner’ retaining a label, which liner can for example be paper or a polymer film like PET) and cured. Paper, PET-film and other sheet-form substrates are preferred.
• Pre-treatment of the film with primer or corona treatment is very common to improve anchorage.
• the use of the anchorage additive of this invention permits to avoid the need to treat a polyester film surface with primers before applying the release coating. It may be preferred to expose a polymer film substrate to a corona discharge before the release coating is applied.
• the silicone release coating of the invention has improved anchorage even without corona discharge treatment, in certain instances the anchorage may be further improved if the film is corona treated before coating.
• Optional corona treatment in some cases will further improve the anchorage of the silicone coating to the substrate. But the corona effect is decayed with time when it is exposed to air.
• Such corona treatment can for example be carried out just before coating the film which is called in-line corona treatment.
• the corona discharge station can be incorporated as a pre-treatment in the film coating apparatus.
• the release coating can for example be applied to the polymer substrate by Mayer bar, spraying, doctor blade, dipping, screen printing or by a roll coater, e.g. an offset web coater, kiss coater or etched cylinder coater.

Heating can be carried out much faster by industry process, e.g. an air floating oven or tunnel furnace or by passing the coated film around heated cylinders.
